Computer Vision API - v1.0

The Computer Vision API provides state-of-the-art algorithms to process images and return information. For example, it can be used to determine if an image contains mature content, or it can be used to find all the faces in an image. It also has other features like estimating dominant and accent colors, categorizing the content of images, and describing an image with complete English sentences. Additionally, it can also intelligently generate images thumbnails for displaying large images effectively.

This API is currently available in:

China North - chinanorth.api.cognitive.azure.cn

Analyze Image

This operation extracts a rich set of visual features based on the image content.

Two input methods are supported -- (1) Uploading an image or (2) specifying an image URL. Within your request, there is an optional parameter to allow you to choose which features to return. By default, image categories are returned in the response.

A successful response will be returned in JSON. If the request failed, the response will contain an error code and a message to help understand what went wrong.
